Public/Private key system where everybody gets a unique private key and a small 'dongle' which can perform encryption of incoming data based on the private key stored within (so nobody actually ever sees the private key).
Not to mention a system setup that realizes these tokens will be stolen/lost and an infrastructure built around this to proved for revocation lists and re-issues of new keys.
Hell, if they want to identify me with a number, at least do it right. This may not be perfect, but it's a *damn* sight better than a simple 9 digit number that's stored in more databases than I can think of... I'd much rather have a small 'phrase' that has been signed with my private key stored all over creation.
Let them steal my token then. I'll realize it's been compromized and report it stolen. A revocation key will be generated and I'll be issued a new key.
Oh, and thanks for implying that I am a school child, have no grasp of the real world, and need to relax. Could you have crammed any more underhanded ad-hominem attacks in that short of a post? I think not.
I'm sure I could have if I tried harder. As far as I can tell the only people who think there is a myth about a "free market" in the purest sense are people like you. Many use the phrase, but everyone (well, most of us at least) realize that we mean "our form of free market." Like calling America a Democracy. It isn't. But that's not what they mean now is it?
I'm having trouble fitting this ruling into the usual scale of liberal vs. conservative.
Then why are you trying? Seriously, not everything can be divided along 'party lines.' Sounds like you have a hammer and are looking for the nail in the story...
Dey were all like 'Yo! you be puttin' dis Windows on dat PC!' and I was like all 'What bitch? You be dissin my machine wit dat shiznit?!?' Den I got all Gentoo on their ass. Damn posers.
I wish I had mods for ya. I'm only 28 myself, but I can see a *big* difference between the "total war" of WWI/WWII and the minor skirmishes since. Vietnam and Korea don't quite even approach the world wars. In WWI/WWII there was no "peace keeping" or trying not to offend neighboring nations. The solitary goal was total surrender of the enemy through whatever means necessary.
LOL? Did I post to America on-line by accident? LOL!
Ignorant ranting....NET? C#? Visual J++? MSH? Almost all of which are MS replacements for other languages (one being an extension of one)?
What I meant by 'too literal' stands. One can't make a post on/. without appending a ton of caveats (IANAL, I use Microsoft products but..., By "they do" I mean it "in general", etc.). LOL!
I honestly didn't know about IronPython. Perhaps you could have found a non-scathing way of bringing it to my attention? But then you wouldn't have that nice feeling of "gotcha!" would you? LOL!
It actually looks a lot more like Perl or Python than a typical shell. In which case Perl or Python have had objects for years.
But who cares? It actually looks like a decent scripting language. Shame MS has such a big "Not Invented Here" syndrome that they can't accept other languages into their OS that they haven't written themselves...
Hm. I'll give you SCSI vs. ATA. But you don't get "maxtor" vs. "seagate." The disk devices are named differently for different types of disks. Not just different drivers.
I have no trouble with BSD disk labels et al. It was just annoying that my ethernet devices had odd (imho) names. It's nice to be able to assume that "the" network device (in a typical system) is called "eth0".
Your first complaint is rather silly. But I agree with you on 2. I never understood why other Unixes did that. It seems a little strange. The hard disks don't do it, why should the ethernet adapters?
I think I'm having as much trouble understanding you as the other poster...
You can choose between a b c or d. But you chose 'e' because you didn't like having choice. Doesn't that mean you chose from a b c d or e?
In other words, choosing one of three BSDs rather than one of many Linux distros is also the same as chosing between *many* different operating systems.
How is it you narrowed your choice?!? I mean, it's cool that you like BSD. But your logic on how you 'narrowed' your choices by adding three more operating systems to the group you were choosing from doesn't make sense...

Hmm. That's really nifty actually! Unfortunately SQL*Plus in Windows runs in its own window (not a cmd line app). But perhaps for the Linux client which does run in a terminal...
Thanks, I'll check this out!

And since you're paying thousands of dollars for this database the command-line based client should under NO circumstances be easy to use! Do not allow command line history, or the ability to edit the line you're working on!
Seriously, I don't know how Oracle gets away with sqlplus... Would it be *that* hard to add readline support?
Why in the world would Apple stay with Athlons? And where does the ability for AMD to keep shipping Athlons at high volume *and* Opterons at high volume come from?
I mean, it's great news if they're adopting x86. I for one would love to run OSX on my cheap ass PC, but something tells me Steve might not be so into that?
I had read, though I don't have a link, that he mentioned that OSX would not run on 'any' hardware, only Apple blessed hardware. I'd bet that they keep open firmware or some such rather than using a standard PC setup. Just because they're using an Intel CPU doesn't mean the rest of the system has to be 'standard PC'.
Wow. I was flying this morning and was thinking about whether it would be possible to create something like this. Nifty! Didn't know they already existed!

I see school has let out for the day...
No society practices a 'pure ideology' of any kind. Rarely would such a society exist for very long. Compromise is made where necessary.
Welcome to the real world. Relax, you're here for a while.

What ever happened to being at the forefront of the news game?
/. was ever up to the minute?
Stuff that matters... Where does it say "late breaking" and "up to the minute news?" In what world do you live in that

If you *expect* things to be late, or at least not up-to-the-minute, then why in the hell are you complaining about it?
Frankly I'm rather sick of the "This was on foo.com last week - old news!" and "again slashdot is reporting old news!" posts.
Your post fit the "whining" portion of my sig.
I never saw the slashdot editors claim they were 'late breaking' or 'first on the scene'. Where in hell did you people ever get that illusion?

Which "Intel Processor" do you think they're going to use? ARM? The developer kit they're selling has a P4 in it BTW.
I don't think AMD could provide the volume that Apple would need. Apple probably didn't want another "Motorola" situation to happen.
